policy. Motion was made by ministers 70
postpone the debating but the motion was
rejected by vote of 328 to 242. Prime Min.
lister Rouvier Immediately announced the
resignation of the cabinet. Motion for in

that the debate on the subject be adjourned

Clemenceau said it was a singular method
of reassuring holders of public

in peace until the oath, and to promise that
there would then be crisis such as had
never before occurred. The public he de-
clared had too long awaited explanation.
There was practically no governments: The

MORMON CONVERTS.

and Feathered-A Rumor That One Has
Been Killed.
CALERA, ALA, November H.-For the
past six months party of six Mormon cid
ers have been proselyting in this section,
and also at several small towns across the
Georgia border. Several converts were
made at the latter places, and the indigna-
ton and wrath of the people could hardly be
suppressed when on Saturday last four mar
ried women and two men left their homes
and made public their intention of going to
Utah. The people then all rose up at once
and gave the elders orders to move on in
stantly. They refused at first, but Monday
night two of them we're tax en- out and tarred
and feathered and the next night two others
were chased into the woods by hounds and
kept in the trees all night. The elders left
next day, and the converts are now missing
also, leaving six forsaken homes. If the
elders ever return they win be shot on sight.
The Mormons then moved into Alabama,
and began their work in the lower part of
people. They we're more successful there,
and have already baptized a dozen or more.
Tuesday, while Elders Mower and Lea were
conducting a meeting at a school house,
fifty armed men dragged them from the pull
pit. They were carried into the woods, the
mob threatening at every step, but on the
intercession of friends they were released on
their written premise to leave the county in
twenty-four hours. Death was the alterna-
tive if they returned. Both left that night,
but without their converts, escorted por-
ton of the way by an armed band Of nearly
100 men. Patrols are on guard and pub
licly announced their intention of killing tho
first elder who returns there.
A rumor was currant that Elder Masters
was killed on the Georgia border by blood
hounds, but it cannot be substantiated.

Awful Results.
LONDON, November 20l-The Dutch steam
or "W. A. 6cholten," Captain Taal, Whiok
left Rotterdam yesterday for New Yokk,
was sunk by colliaion with The stsaznsr
'sRoss Mary" Of Hatlepool, 1t II o'clook
last night ten miles OF Dover. The "Schos-
ten" carried complement of 2oO passen-
gers and crew.
The steamer "Ebro," Of Sunderland, ~
cued ninety Of the crew and passengers and
landed them at the Sailors home, Dover.
One hundred and forty of the passengers
are missing. One passenger and a child Of
the party brought to Dover, were found dead
from exposure. It is hoped that passing
vessels have rescued the missing ones. The
ssW. A. Scholton's" masts are visible from
Dover pier. Boats have left Dover bound IN
all directions for the purpose of saving life
and property If possible. The Rosa Maxyn
is anchored of Ramsgate with her bows
stove.
immediately after the shock was felt the
Scholten's passengers, all of whom had re-
tired for the night, rushed ON deck in their
night gowns. The boats were promptly or
dered to be lowered, but it was found that
only two were available. The three others
were useless and were not lowered.
The water rushed swiftly through the hole
in the bow, and terrible scene ensued.
The panic stricken passengers uttered
piercing shrieks, and many fell on their
knees and prayed aloud. Little children
chung to their mothers, who themselves were
shrieking with terror. The officers were
cool and self possessed, and remained On
the bridge to the last. Several persons pro-
cured life belts and leaped intothe sea.
Within twenty minutes of the shock the
"Scholten" was engulfed. All those who had
put on life belts hoated and were rescued
by the boats from the steamer "Ebro,"
which cruised around until O'Clock in the
morning. Many of the rescued lost wives.
husbands, brothers and sisters. The sur
vivors were supplied with clothes, and ev-
erything needful was done to insure their
comfort.
According to the latest statement there
were 210 passengers on board the Scholten;
l32 are drowned or missing. The first mate
and fourth engineer have been recognized
among the dead. The Scholten lies four
miles from the admiralty pier. Her three
masts are visible. She is in a position dan
gerous to navigation. A buoy and light have
been placed on the wreck.

Terrible Battle With q whale.

PRovNoETowN, MASS, November 19.-The
whaling steamer "Lizzie NJ" Captain West,
which has been engaged in the fnback whale
fishery, on the eastern coast this season,
on October 6, when about fifteen miles east
| southeast from Seguin Island, off the
coast of Maine, saw large whale of that
species and attempted its capture. boat
mate and four seamen. Captain West, with
q large, heavy whale gun, in which was an ex-
plosive bomb lance, took the bow OF the
boat, while the mate steered. Upon approach
ing the whale it was seen that he would
be an ugly customer to deal with, as he
showed no inclination to run, but kept slow
~ moving around evidently waiting to be
attacked.
When the boat was near enough to warrant
a shot, Captain West fired the gun, but as
the sea was rough the motion of the boat de-
stroyed the accuracy of his aim. The whale
was badly wounded, but not in any vital
part. The whale then made for the boat,
and in passing under it struck it with his
dukes, throwing it some thirty feet into the
air with its crew. As the boat descended,
the whale again struck it with his tail and
one of the crew, Jacob Klock, cut
ting him completely in two, The
whale then commenced to bite and
strike with his tail at the pieces of the boat,
killing two more men, Neal Olsen and Chris.
Johnson, who were supporting themselves
on pieces of the wreck. Captain West,
the mate and the other men were
safely taken aboard the steamer, and
another boat was lowered to capture the
monster. Then the whale attacked the
steamer. By quick turn Of the rudder the
steamer cleared him by few feet. This oc-
CURED second time, and the swell which
was created by the whales tail back into the
water knocked all on board of their feet.
By throwing over an immense cask, at which
the whale, thinking it was the ship, kept
bucking away, the captain was enabled to
get shot with the bomb lance and finally
the whale was killed.
